  • In this video I install and review the new Eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro that has a full controllable 360 degree camera. This particular floodlight is made by Anker. Unlike many other products, this one does not require a monthly subscription to be able to review your footage as it has 8GB of internal storage. Cloud subscriptions are available if desired though. These features can really add another level of security that I have not found with other cameras. But how well do they work?

    A year ago, I thought Eufy would be king. But lately, it’s kinda evident that Reolink runs the show. Everything they’ve been putting out lately eclipses the competition. The only thing I genuinely like about this camera is the ability to change its color temperature. Everyone should follow suit.

    Another great video. I no longer use Ring products due to the lack of privacy. I have a Eufy doorbell and really like it so I'll be looking into this floodlight camera. Thanks for the review.

      This was my first Eufy product but I was really impressed with it. I will definitely be considering them in the future. I would assume that their doorbell has the same quality. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

    Nice camera.. if you use a junction box or something to get the lights and camera lower, you won’t have so much glare or haze at night.. the lights are reflecting back at the camera lens, which causes that effect.

    Great video! I'm trying to decide which cameras & floodlights to get. How well does this integrate with Alexa or Google Home, can it trigger automations? i.e. motion detection triggers my porch light and driveway lights to turn on between certain times and turn off after a set time period. My Ring doorbell used to do it perfectly, but I got rid of Ring and have ADT's new Nest doorbell. It is set up to do it but it won't actually trigger the automation because ADT won't play nice with home assistants. If I test the automation in Alexa app it works but ADT's Nest doorbell won't do it.

    Eufy should add bug zappers on the floodlights to have fewer bugs in the video picture. And also, make the floodlights motorized so we don't need to get the ladder in our garage. We can control it through the mobile app.

    Just discovered your channel 👍🏼 I just bought this camera to install on my existing floodlights. The floodlights i have are powered by two three way switches. If the switches are off I'm sure the cameras and light will not work. Is there a way to wire these to allow the camera to continue working but not have the lights on all the time or what if I want the lights on because I'm outside. Thanks.

    Good video. But it would have been more informative if you talked about Monitoring prices? Do they have good customer service? Can you upload video or is it stored on SD card? Does company charge for storage? What is the detection distance of the camera and lights? I Love the features you pointed out better than the competition, but many of us don't like monthly fees to be able to see our video.

    • @HowToHomeDIY
      @HowToHomeDIY  3 года назад +4

      As a owner of numerous ring products I totally get wanting to get away from the monthly subscriptions! With this camera you get 8 GB of internal storage. So you do not have to pay a subscription fee to be able to review your footage. They do offer cloud storage as an option if someone decides they want it. I just use the internal storage personally and have weeks of footage I can go back and review. I have not had a lot of contact with them as a company but the little that I have had they have been helpful and responsive. I appreciate the feedback!

      @@HowToHomeDIY Thank You for answering my questions? I'm trying to find a good camera system. In the end I may go with a hardwired system. Changing/regarging batteries, pulling out and SD card to review, and monthly fees all add Money to the overall maintenance cost. A hardwired system has built in HD hard drive. Stores more hours than I need and if wifi goes out it still works. Many hardwired systems have lasted for years. Where rechargeable or battery powered device will need to be replaced. Or new purchased. In the long run these type systems cost more money. Though the one you reviewed is hardwired, I just don't like monthly fees or swapping out SD cards. Your video helped a lot 🙂

    • @HowToHomeDIY
      @HowToHomeDIY  3 года назад +4

      All of the reasons you gave are some reasons why I got this one. It is hard wired, no monthly fees, and there aren't any SD cards. It is all internal memory and once it fills up it just overwrites the earliest recordings like a standard hard wired system does. As far as floodlight cams go, this one checked a lot of my boxes. But if you are wanting to store months of footage then you would need more than 8GB. I am glad the video was helpful! If you have any other questions I will try to answer them the best I can.

Can you transfer to a thumb drive if you had an event, like a break-in? Or is all data transfered to the app? And if so, this is free of charge? If so I may be interested in this system. Because like you I already have auto flood lights installed around my house 🏠
